Alaska Airlines Mileage Plan Awards Now Available On Condor

Alaska Airlines and Condor launched their partnership back in March (read more here) where Condor taps into Alaska network in North America to feed its flights while Mileage Plan members can earn and now also redeem miles for Condor flights.

Mileage Plan members can redeem their miles using the online interface that brings up Condor flights when availability exists.

It is somewhat weird that Condor doesn’t have their own frequent flier program. You can only earn on Lufthansa’s Miles&More or Alaska’s Mileage Plan (Alaska’s Condor earnings are far better than Miles&More).

There are no fuel surcharges on Condor awards issued using Alaska miles that is good news. Seems that only actual taxes and fees are collected.

You have to bear in mind that Condor is mainly leisure carrier that flies to some destinations only weekly. You need to have some patience when searching for awards and especially for those that connect in Frankfurt to destinations in Africa and Middle East.
